Swedish House Mafia have been announced as Saturday night headliners on the Creamfields 2025 lineup. In a set billed as a “UK festival exclusive”, the house hitmakers will play the Arc Stage on Saturday, August 23.
Swedish House Mafia have a long history with Creamfields, being part of its Cream club nights in the early 2000’s, and they played their first set at the festival in 2007. The last time they played at Creamfields was in 2023, playing the same Arc Stage they’ll be returning to this year.
Their 2019 set was deemed an iconic highlight, and especially memorable after the group caused £4 million worth of damage when dropping their Knife Party collaboration, ‘Antidote’. The amount of pyrotechnics used permanently damaged the stage’s LED screens.
American DJ Anyma was announced as the first headliner last month, set to close out the festival on the Sunday night (August 24).
Other acts confirmed on the Creamfields lineup include David Guetta, Chase & Status, Boris Brejcha, Eric Prydz, Sarah Landry, Fisher, Hardwell, Amelie Lens, Dom Dolla, Hannah Laing, Camelphat, Ewan McVicar, Jamie Jones, Duke Dumont, Patrick Topping, Eats Everything, Fatboy Slim, Josh Baker, Andy C, Gaskin, HorsegiirL, Sonny Fodera, Franky Wah, AZYR, Ben Hemsley, Ben Nicky, Martin Garrix, and Gorgon City. More acts will be announced soon.
This year’s festival will be a first for some fresh features – a new stage has been added, a 360° Halo “mega stage”. This new stage will be “a monumental 45 metre, diameter, cyclical outdoor arena with pioneering 360 and overhead video, lighting and sound”.
New areas/zones will also be introduced this year. One of these is ‘Downtown’, a sports, wellness and entertainment village which will give festivalgoers an opportunity to exercise and wind down with activities like five-a-side football, basketball, mini golf and rave karaoke.
Another area to be added will be ‘Freshfields’, described as an “on-site retreat offering premium facilities”. The wellness luxuries here will include saunas, hot tubs, both hot and ice-cold showers and proper bathrooms.
Creamfields 2025 will take place during the August Bank Holiday Weekend from August 21-24 in Daresbury, Cheshire. You can find tickets and more information on the official Creamfields website.
